Jonah is with the Lord
Dear loved ones,
As difficult as it is to write this morning, I know you all need to know what has taken place. Scott and Amy knew it was time to let Jonah go peacefully to his heavenly Father. We all know he has been in the arms of Jesus all this time. They were able to spend sweet moments with him and hold him close before they said good-bye. Jonah's grandparents and aunts and uncles were also able to see him and all spend time in his room where he and his parents have been for months. We appreciate, once again, all your prayers for Jonah's family during this difficult time. Thank you and God Bless you all for loving and caring.

Thank you for continued prayers
Friends and family,
I'm writing because the last blog said we would keep you posted on Jonah's condition. This has been an extremely emotional day for the family because Jonah is struggling with his breathing. The doctors called a meeting with Scott and Amy to let them know what they are thinking. As Scott said, they don't call meetings unless it is important. Basically, Jonah's liver is so large that it is infringing on his lung space. We knew his liver was large, but I guess it's really large. This happens with children with PKD. The doctors have said that there is "more chance that Jonah won't get better than that he will." Not good news to hear. However, as Scott and I were speaking he said his lungs were working well at that time. :) We also must remember that we heard bad news 5 months ago also. So...we will continue to pray for sweet Jonah and his parents. We are trusting God and know that His will is the best for all of us. We pray His will be done and for His peace and comfort for Scott and Amy as they go through this difficult time once again. We are so grateful for your concern and love for this family.

Needing Prayer
Hello everyone. This is to let everyone know that Jonah is struggling and in need of much prayer. He has extra fluid that has not been coming off with dialysis and he also has high levels of Carbon Dioxide that need to come out. We appreciate all your prayers very much. We will post again soon to update. Thank you and God bless!

Feeling Better
Jonah was with Doctors most of the day as they tried to make him more comfortable. Scott called Amy during the wedding reception and told her that they gave him an anti-anxiety medicine and he was doing much better and looking all around peacefully. Thank you for all your prayers again. He was sleeping peacefully last we heard. He will get use to his new way to breathe, I'm sure. May God bless us all as we enjoy this peaceful time again. :) Congratulations to the bride and Groom, Amy's brother, Nick West and Ashley.
Jonah's strugglling
Please pray for Jonah today as often as you think of him. He is struggling with the new tracheotomy and is not getting enough Co2 off. He's on dialysis to get the fluid off but his electrolytes are off also. Amy is on her way up to San Luis to go to her brother's wedding today and is very torn because of leaving Jonah at such a crucial time. Pray for her and Scott also, as you have been. We are at another crucial time and in need of God's touch and miracle-working power.

Surgery over!
Jonah had his second tracheotomy today and I received 2 pictures from them that seem to show that all is well! Praise God! They sent them via text with the words "chubby cheeks", which is oh so true! He got a wonderful kiss from dad and I'm sure mom on his sweet cheeks without the ventilator getting in the way! Yay! Thank you for all your prayers and support.
